I finally pulled the trigger

After a very rough start to my 50th year I was finally able to pull the trigger on what I hope will be my dream car for some time and thought I would share as others have. It’s my first Porsche and I have learned a ton from this and other forums and hope I chose wisely. it’s a highly optioned car that I plan to keep for a long time. I realize it bumps against Turbo pricing but it will be a DD driver, and I don't really want or need that extra performance/look right now. I am pleased and fortunate to join the fray. One thing I have learned this year is, live while you can, it can go away quickly.

Here is the build, I also added the LED lights but may cancel them, can they be that much better than the Xenon's?

Can't wait,

Awesome! Congrats & Happy Birthday! Probably the best 50th birthday present this year, since you share it with the 911.

Spectacular build. You are gonna love it- and it is going to be good for you. One thing to consider- you cannot hardly see the rear console, so the deviated stitching will be all but invisible. Unless I missed it- you did not get PSE. It is a grin inducer any time you push the button. Not over the top, but a huge addition IMHO.

Congratulations on your purchase--you've really picked a great combination. I second the motion about considering the PSE, unless you intend to listen to that beautiful sound system full time.

Either way, enjoy the car and use it in good health!

You should definitely include 5mm spacer option..it's worth it with the wide body looks!!

Thanks everyone, Fester, you were my inspiration. I like the sport techno's as they are painted GT Silver so in effect color matched. No Need for the spacers with these as they are a bit wider than the other wheels. (side note, I don't see the spacer's listed any more) the rear is not deviated stitching but it is does have same color stitching. I learned that you cannot deviate all of the stitching so I opted not to try to do any. I fell in love with all of the leather options after seeing a video of the initial release of the car. Truly can't wait.

Thanks again for all of the nice comments.
